Well here i am swapping springs and oil on my forks.. Get everything taken care of taking the first fork apart.. Get to the second and I can not get the Dampening Rod bolt out of the bottom of the Fork ( 6mm bolt) So I take it to a new Motorcycle shop for them to use the Impact gun on it... Guy gives it back and says, " I wasn't able to remove the inners without the spring in" I say " but you did loosen the bolt" he says "Yeah"
I figure no worries, I got the other fork apart without the springs in it. So I get home and begin working on the fork.. I mount it in my vise and take a 6mm to it to see what the situation is. Low and behold, the BOLT IS STRIPPED..
I go storming back, but they give me "it wasn't like that before". tough luck..
Now I turn to my trusty SVR members for help.. Please offer help with this bolt issue, as for dealing with the shop that is for another thread..
Help Please.. getting this stripped bolt out, that is recessed in the bottom of the fork, and probably needs the same amount of force to remove as before..
